India vs Australia 2nd ODI in Adelaide: Virat Kohli fails again, registers back-to-back ducks
Adelaide typically favours spin, making a strong case for Kuldeep Yadav, the top wicket-taker from Asia Cup 2025, to replace Washington Sundar, who had little impact with bat or ball in the 1st ODI.
Under the leadership of Mitchell Marsh, AUS put on a strong performance in the 1st ODI in Perth, successfully chasing down the 132-run target (via DLS method) with ease, winning by seven wickets.

With his ODI loss in Perth, Shubman Gill has become only the ninth cricketer in the world to lose his debut match as captain in all three formats
India skipper Shubman Gill acknowledged it wasn't easy for his side to come back from the three early setbacks in the first ODI against Australia, saying the team still put up a competitive show by taking the match "pretty deep" against the hosts, here on Sunday. India lost openers Rohit Sharma and Gill, and batting stalwart Virat Kohli in the powerplay overs from which the tourists could never recover as they lost the rain-shortened match by seven wickets.

Arshdeep feels that being a master of 50-over cricket, Kohli will score runs in the remaining two games of this series. "He has played more than 300 matches for India, so form is just a word for him," Arshdeep said at the post-match media conference. "He knows how to get going. It is always like a blessing to be in the same dressing room with him, and going forward I feel there'll be a lot of runs for him in this series as well." Asked how does Kohli feel about playing just one format, Arshdeep kept his guard up. "....talking about the format he is playing, he has mastered this one. So I don't know how he feels about it. I will ask him about his feelings, and maybe tell you in the next press conference." The left-arm seamer is still ve
